Is Obama really going to make teens do 50+ Hours of community service a year?

Jason asked:


I skimmed through debates on why and why not Obama/Mccain should be president. Somewhere I read Obama will make Middle/High School Students do 50+ hours of community service a year.
Is this true or false?
Sounds like a retarded idea too me.
Some kids, more as of lately, do not have time to waste volunteering.

      No that’s 50 hours a week.

    3. Kittles Says:

      Not that I’ve heard. I think he has a community service plan for people who opt to join in.

      They could have taken that and misconstrued it. I really doubt he will force teenagers to do 50 hours of community service a year. He’d lose a lot of votes.

      I think its a great idea. I live in Canada (sp. Ontario) and it is mandatory to do 30 hours of community service to recieve your high school diploma. Honestly, its not that bad….it goes by pretty fast, you can get scholarships if you earned a lot, it keeps teens from being a bunch of lazy s’hits, and you can always stick it on your resume.

      Its HARDLY a waste… grow up.
